WHAT I DO:
Your Central Texas marketing partner for ranking higher, outperforming competitors, and turning clicks into customers.
The Problem I Solve
I help local businesses show up and stay booked.
Right now, someone in Cedar Park, Georgetown or Leander is searching for a service you offer. Do they find you, or your competitor? That's the problem I solve, and I've done it hundreds of times across Central Texas.
Digital Ads Management
Google Ads and Meta Ads built around your service area, budget, and busiest seasons. Every dollar is tracked, and every campaign earns its keep.
Where do your ads stand?
I'm running ads, but I'm not getting calls or form submissions.
Get you back to “real leads” quickly
I’ll check targeting + search terms, fix the offer/message, and make sure calls/forms are actually being tracked. Then we cut the wasted spend and rebuild around what gets inquiries.
I'm getting leads, but they're low quality / wrong fit.
Filter out the junk without killing volume
We tighten who sees the ads (location, keywords, exclusions) and match the landing page to the exact service area + service. Goal: fewer “tire-kickers,” more people ready to book.
I've never run ads. I want a safe, simple start.
Start small, track everything, then scale
We launch a focused campaign around your best service, set a comfortable daily budget, and build a simple page that turns clicks into calls. Once we see what converts, we expand from there.
SEO & Local Visibility
Rank higher on Google and map results across Central Texas. Built around how your customers search in Austin, Round Rock, Liberty Hill and surrounding areas.
How is your search visibility today?
My business barely shows up in Google search or maps.
Improve visibility where it matters most
I’ll focus on local SEO basics like site structure, content, and location signals to help you show up for relevant searches.
I'm getting traffic, but not local or qualified.
Attract the right kind of searchers
We align pages and keywords with your service area and actual offerings so traffic is more likely to turn into calls.
I want steady growth without relying only on ads.
Build long-term visibility
SEO takes time, but done right it compounds. We focus on sustainable improvements that continue paying off.
Website Design & Maintenance
Your website is your first impression. If it's slow, outdated, or confusing, customers bounce before they ever call.
Which best describes your situation?
My website looks old or doesn't reflect my business anymore.
Bring your site up to modern standards
I’ll refresh the design, clean up layout and messaging, and make sure it works well on mobile. The goal is a site that feels current, clear, and credible.
Things on my site are broken or not working correctly.
Fix issues before they cost you leads
I’ll track down broken forms, slow pages, layout bugs, or plugin issues and get everything working reliably again.
I need a website.
Website Builds & Setup
Whether you’re small, growing, or established, I’ll help you shape what your site should be and build something clear, professional, and effective.
AI Search & Answer Enginge Optimization
Your customers are asking ChatGPT and Google AI for recommendations. I make sure your business shows up in those answers.
What’s your main goal right now?
I don’t show up in AI results
Start showing up in AI search
I’ll help structure your site and content so you have a better shot at appearing in ChatGPT and Google’s AI results.
I show up on Google, but not in AI
Bridge SEO → GEO
If your SEO is decent, GEO is usually about clarity, authority, and how your services and locations are described so AI tools can confidently reference you.
AI mentions competitors instead of me
Get AI to understand your business
I’ll improve your on-site signals (services, locations, reviews, authority) so AI tools and search engines have stronger reasons to include you.
I want to get ahead before competitors do
Capture the early advantage
AI search is still wide open. Businesses that position themselves early have a much better chance of becoming the companies AI tools reference.
Marketing Strategy & Consulting
A clear marketing plan without a bloated retainer. I'll show you where your money should go and what to cut.
Which challenge feels most familiar?
I have too many options and dont know where to start.
Create a simple, focused plan
We’ll narrow things down to what actually makes sense for your business and budget instead of trying everything at once.
What I’m doing works, but growth has stalled.
Find the next leverage point
I’ll look at what’s already working and identify where small changes can unlock more leads or better efficiency.
I'm basically guessing with my marketing.
Replace guessing with clear direction
We map out priorities, channels, and realistic expectations so you know what to run, why it matters, and what success looks like.
Audits & Quick Wins
Already have a marketing partner or website? I'll still find gaps. Most businesses I audit have fast, affordable fixes.
What needs a closer look?
Something feels off, but I can't pinpoint it.
Get clear answers fast
I’ll review ads, site, and tracking to identify what’s holding performance back and where fixes matter most.
I think I'm wasting money somewhere.
Stop leaks before spending more
We look for broken tracking, inefficient campaigns, or poor conversion paths that quietly burn budget.
I want a second opinion before making changes.
Validate or course-correct
I’ll give you an honest assessment of what’s working, what isn’t, and what I would prioritize if it were my business.
Client Love
Hundreds of local businesses. The results do the talking.
I've helped pest control companies, HVAC contractors, pool builders, landscapers, lawyers and construction businesses across Central Texas grow their online presence and get more calls.
"We’re a media production company, and when clients need more than production, we bring Dalton in as a strategic marketing add-on. We trust him, feel confident recommending him, and it’s helped us close larger, more complex projects"

Who's Dalton?
Your local marketing guy.
Nice to meet you.
I've started multiple businesses and worn every hat required to keep them running. That background is why I get how local businesses operate.
So when I kept watching Central Texas businesses hand their money to agencies applying cookie-cutter strategies from people who've never set foot in Leander or driven through Liberty Hill, I figured somebody local should step up.
That became Dalton Does Ads.
- - I live here. I work here.
- - I'll meet you for coffee and hear your ideas.
- - I'll teach you what's working and why.
Whether you're a two-person pest control crew or a growing construction company, I customize the approach to fit where you are and where you want to go.
Big project, small project, one-time fix, or long-term partnership. I've done it all, and I price my services so you can afford to keep growing.
My Process
Four steps. Zero confusion.
I work with businesses at every stage, from "I just need a website" to "I want to dominate my zip code."
Connect
A quick call or coffee. Tell me about your business, your goals, and what's been frustrating you.
Assess
I review everything a potential customer sees before they call: your website, listings, reviews, and competitors.
Plan
You get a prioritized marketing plan with clear pricing. What to do first, why, and expected results.
Execute
I get to work. You get back to yours. I stay in your corner for whatever comes next.
Let's figure out your next move.
Call me, text me, or fill out the form if typing is more your thing. I respond fast, I keep it casual, and the first conversation is always free.
